Dear Matron I don't want to make you jealous but I went to the Isle of Wight once and I really enjoyed myself. However I suppose visiting New York, USA, Newport, RI and Boston, Mass would make a pleasant change. I hope that you enjoy yourself and look forward to your report.

Oooh, wish I'd know earlier, we could have arranged a meet-up! I hope Bar Harbor is lovely for you, it is a bit early for the foliage this year, plentiful rains kept the trees hydrated and slow to color. I hope you have a marvelous time.Ali in Maine

Bar Harbour was yesterday, it was absolutely stunning, I loved it! So far we have had bright sunshine and clear blue skies all the way. I have eaten fresh Maine lobster practically every day! Tomorrow Halifax....xxxx Matron

About Me
